Peterborough United have today (May 17) been linked with a move for highly-rated Portsmouth goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray.

Reports in the Hampshire media claim Posh have made a move for the 28 year-old who was a runaway winner of the Pompey player-of-the-season award after playing in all 46 League One games.

MacGillivray is out of contract at Fratton Park so would not command a fee.

Pompey were linked with a move for Posh full-back Dan Butler yesterday (May 16). Butler is a former Pompey player.
